Greg Walsh spun back behind the bench

Gav on Sports
By Terry Gavan
Greg Walsh is back! Where he belongs. Behind the bench
after duking it out against OMHA and Hockey Canada!
Here’s what we know about Greg Walsh, an erstwhile minor league hockey coach from Peterborough.
   Greg Walsh runs a NAPA auto parts dealership and boy is his district supervisor happy that Greg loves wearing that NAPA jacket.
   Talk about an unplanned advertising windfall. Walsh has been wearing that jacket nonstop since he went viral in early December and we are hoping that the NAPA district supervisor comes big at Greg this Christmas.
   Who the hell is Greg Walsh?
   Greg Walsh has been on the National with Carol MacNeil.
   He’s been a featured story on front pages across Canada.
   Greg is a cause célèbre.
   Because Greg Walsh stood up to the jacked-up patriarchal bureaucrats that run minor hockey here in Canada.
   Walsh said no to racism when he pulled his NAPA Auto Parts team from a game way back on Nov. 15.

Blake Griffin Dunkenstein - Crazy as Batshit!

Bringin' Da' DAP back to Da Dunk
By Terry Gavan
The NBA's all star dunking contest has come under scrutiny over the last two decades.
Gone are Dominique, David Thompson, Chocolate Thunder, and Dr J (Julius Erving).
Erving, whose overall majestic air time presence is the guy who made the contest possible.
A dunk is after all just a dunk - until the wow factor imposes its je ne sais quoi imprimatur.
We've lost the wow. Today's dunkesters. like Dwight Howard et al, use costumes, or fanfare to embellish the raw act.
When the Doc took off from the foul line stretched wings and plowed ball through waiting hoop the art was in the detail.
Human form in free fall and the rest was just logical end.
Welcome Blake Griffin and let's hope he brings back da' DAP to Da' Dunk!
Enjoy peeps ... Dr. Dunkenstein for your pure enjoyment!

I met the Good Samaritan on Christmas Eve

Twas the night before Christmas and I’m locked out of my Jeep in a tee shirt at Coby … Merry f@&*ing Christmas!
By Terrance Gavan  
Twas the night before Christmas
And to Lindsay I’m fled
Thoughts of a car wash
Scream through my head
My blue Jeep is spattered
With tinges of grey
OCD says to smite
All that salt, sand and clay
I stop at Old Coby
Big garage on the hill
In tee shirt and jeans
I egress to the shrill
Noise of the hoses
At work in the bays
My dog Bille Jean
Jumps into the fray
She loves to chase water
As it spurts from the tip
And inside the car
She prances and trips
And I’m not even worried
I left keys in ignition
I know that Jeep knows
By mere intuition
Never to allow me
To lock keys inside
It balks when I push the
lock and load slide

Pardon the Eruption .... on second thought just do what this Irish gentleman suggests at the end of this beautiful rant...
Let's locate this guy and fire him into Stevie Wonderhair's Cabinet ... for fuck's sake!
Ah... lovely brogue and a fine use of da' prodigious profane in describing The Tiger's crisis!
You must watch this!

Proudfoot says goodbye

Gav's blog reprints Tony P's last column from the Montreal gazette:
proudfoot is about to shuffle off this mortal coil and the flllowing was printed in the Gazette yesterday:



By Tony Proudfoot for Postmedia News
“The time has come,” the Walrus said, “to talk of many things.” — Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking Glass
MONTREAL — The last time I wrote for the Montreal Gazette in April 2010, I was anticipating that I might not make it to another Christmas. Here it is, early December, same year, and my circumstances are certainly clearer. As the Walrus says, “The time has come” literally and figuratively, and I would like to “talk of many things.”
Why has ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease) come into my life? What can I do with my body as it slowly deteriorates? When will my time actually be, given that ALS is a definitive death sentence? These are all thoughts that come to mind. Focusing on my next breath requires all of my energy. I am starved of air and oxygen and need to rely on a ventilator just to feel stable, just to live. I am now on my ventilator up to 22 hours per day, often going off one, to walk slowly to another room to attach myself to another.
At the beginning, without any answers and none forthcoming, I chose to take the high road and be as positive as I could possibly be and live the life I had left to the fullest. I also worked hard to raise awareness of ALS and support research into its cause and elimination.
